creative ways to use custom matting
and this article will discuss some of those. Matting can also make a great gift for any special occasion.

Creative Frame Ideas

the frame you use. Stacey made use of an old door and replaced the window panes with matting! We have had
customers use old trays and scrap wood that they’ve created frames from. It’s fun to get creative with your frame,
knowing Matboard and More® will be able to create a matte for you to match.

Signature Matting

A large picture mat with big borders can be used to give friends and family an opportunity to sign something special
for any occasion. We have done signature custom picture frames for weddings, birthday, anniversaries and other events. Give yourself
at least 3” around a special image and it makes a perfect memento to remember the occasion! At weddings it can serve
as a unique guest book.

Holiday Seasons

We can accommodate any holiday season, whether it be Christmas, Easter, Halloween or Birthdays. We created special
Easter design for Nicole, and we have special templates for all the seasons. Here is a small sampling.

Memorabilia

Get creative and make a picture mat that not only protects and conserves your special piece, but makes it look amazing!
You can use letter art, include openings for things like baseball cards, game tickets, patches, additional pictures
or whatever else you can think of. We have helped customers protect degrees, comic books, newspaper articles, and
sports memorabilia with our picture matting.

Letter Art

Matboard and More® can cut letters out in any shape or design you want to help you create the perfect letter art. You can
combine letters with pictures or other special shapes. Most commonly customers utilize a meaningful word and then post
images behind that. For example, PARIS and then including pictures of their trip behind the letters.
